THREE MILLIONS INVOLVED.
A Prominent New York Man In ;ud-
low Street Jail.

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-Charles G.. FraDck-
lyn, who has for years been very well known
in New York society and business circles,
and was, until five or six years ago the
American agent of the Cunard steamship
line, was last night lodged in Ludlow street
jail, in default Of S5O0.OOO bail
The suit in which Fiancklyn was arrested
is brought by Sir Bache Cunard, to recover
S3,0O0.0O0 alleged to have been wrongfully
converted to his own use by Francklyn, who
is cousin to Cunard. The allegation is that
Francklyn Incorporated part Of the mon
ey as president of the Horn Silver Mining
Company, in which Cunard had invested
heavily. The stockholders have for over a
year been trying to force Francklyn to ex-
plain on item of $64S, S,667 on the books, which
Is entered as accounts due the company"
1t is supposed that this amount represents
loan by Francklyn, as president, TO himself
as individual, but no explanation has ever
been obtained. The mystery attending the
nnances OF the company, has nearly ruined
its stock. Meanwhile Francklyns credit
has been lost, and though reputed a wealthy
man, ne has been paying enormous rates of
interest Tor call loans, sometimes as high as
$1,000 for the use of $4,000 for thirty days.
he is likely to remain in Ludlow street
jail Ior some time, as he tried in vain for
several hours yesterday. among his former
wealthy friends, to raise the funds necessary
to release him upon S500,O00 bail as fixed by
the court.
When Francklyn retired from the agency
of the Cunard line he was supposed to be
worth $2,000,000. With Frank G. Brown he
went into the Horn Silver Mining Company.
which, at first, paid large dividends, and it
IS understood that it was through his repre-
sentatlons that the money Of the Cunards
was put into this company.
lt was at the cottage Of Mr.. Francklyn at
Eiberon that President Garfield died.

AMERICAN SHIPPING.
A Convention in Boston Addressed
by Senator Frye.

BOSTON, Oct. 21.-The convention of the
American Shipping and Industry League
met here today. Otis lnman, of the Boston
Chamber of Commerce, presided. Mayor
O'Brien welcomed the delegates. J. f. Bliss
was chosen secretary Ten States were rep
resented by 80 organizations, and 100 dele
gates. Hon. r. S. Spofford of Massachu-
sets, was chosen president, and made an adj
dress, in which he discussed the decline of
American shipping and the various meas
ures which had been proposed for its resus-
citation,
Senator Frye Of Maine, followed Mr..
Spofford in brief speech. He had been do
ing what he could to lift up from death the
American merchant marine, but ship owners
were lying on their oars and doing nothing.
Organized work was power in this country
and there was nothing to which Congress
was more sensitive than the voice of the
voting population. 1t is time that the
American people woke up to the fact that
unless a market is soon found for American
manufactures outside the country, there
will be an 0ver-production that will be
fatal. If we had what ships we needed, we
could not sail them cheaply enough to COM
pete with England. The way to compete
successfully was to have Congress put its
hand into that big surplus and pay for sail
ing American ships under the American flag.
1t was a great Etask to get such measure
adopted, but organized effort would accom-
plish it.
A committee on resolutions were appoint.
ed and the meeting adjourned.

Fresh Bait RefrIgerators.

Mr.. o. b. Whitten, of the firm Of Lewis,
Chase & Whitten, of this city. has received
letter from Gloucester regarding the use Of
fresh bait refrigerators In fishing vessels. Mr..
Whitten says; ''It is intended to establish
the fish refrigerators ON the same plan as
the Western beef refrigerators. We can
work one very well here. We can do 1t in
this way Have men who will make regu-
lar business of going out and catching the
small herring to pack away really for use.
Then we can fit out the vessels with fresh
bait and send them direct to the Banks or to
the other northern grounds. An owner is
always anxious that his vessel sha proceed
to the fishing grounds at once and not delay
on the way. As it is now, when we send our
schooners north the crew are obliged to 60
ashore and buy their fresh bait. This often
means an additional expense, as the captains
frequently get draft on us for more pro-
visions, and, If cruisers are about, the pur-
chasing is stopped. The fish refrigerators
will do away with these two difficulties, and
more than that, the catch can be put into
storehouses to be ready for shipment West.
In this way, too, understand that fish re-
frigerator cars can be used, possibly the
same cars that now bring beef East, which
can be sent back loaded. If successful it
will be a new feature in transportation"

The Last Handsb aklngs Of the
Presidential Trip.

AsHEvILLE, N. c., Oct 21.-The Presi-
Dental party reached here at 1918 o'clock
this morning. They were welcomed by the
entire population and escorted through the
streets of the city in carriages. They re-
mained half an hour. 81
BEAUFORT, N. c., Oct. 21.-The presiden-

party were escorted through the town by
the municipal authorities and host of citi-

on horseback. There were thousand
mounted mountaineers and country people
in line.

was repeated.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-It does not now
seem probable that anything will be done
towards formal reception to the President
and Mrs. Cleveland upon their return to
Washington. Some Of the friends of the
President had determined that he should be
as well received in Washington as he had
been at every other point along the
route of his trip, but the people who had
charge of the reent Sheppard demon
stratfon came. to the front and under
took to run the arrangements. They had
some money left over from that demonsta-
tion and proposed to use it Illuminating the
streets. IL has therefore been determined
to abandon the proposed reception, and
when the President and Mrs. Cleveland re-
turn the will. as heretofore, dive quietly
from the depot to the White House with
nothing to signalize their coming beyond the
usual crowd that will assemble to meet them

BAR HARBoR. Oct. q.
Only those who visited Bar Harbor quite
recently are aware Of the progress that has
there been made In the establishment OF a
permanent community Bar Harbor Is gem
orally regarded as a summer resort merely.
But the place has already a permanent pop
ulatiJn Of from 400 to 1900, as variously es-
timated. Rapidly this city by the sea, and
under the shadow Of Green Mountain, Is se-
curing the advantages which a growing
thriving community demands. Good schools
have been established and excellent teachers
give their attention TO the work of instruc-
ti0n. Already, too, there are five churches
at Bar HarbOr, with houses OF worship aud
settled pastors The Baptist church edince
has been erected during the present season.

AWAITING DEVELOPMENTS.
The New Hampshire Legislature Will
Keep Up the Fight.

CONCORD, N. H., Oct 21.-The New
Hampshire House met at $50 o'clock this
morning. For an hour nothing was done.
the members occupying the time in conversa-
tion. At 1890 o'clock MIR. S. b. Page Of
Haverhill called for the unfinished business,
this being motion to reconsider the molten
for final adjournment at noon today. This
opened up lively discussion.
General Marston of Exeter had the last
word. He said that in view of the gravity of
the situation and the possible complications
likely to arise If u o'clock came and the situ-
alton remained unchanged, he felt it his duty
to the State to remain until the appropria-
tion bill could be acted upon. He said that
it had been mutually agreed that the motion
to reconsider should be put, and, If it pre-
vailed, the action ON the appropriation bills
and the bill for the apportionment Of the
State taxes should be the first to be acted
upon. General Marston's remarks were
greeted with applause.
The motion to reconsider prevailed, and
the deadlock that had existed between the
Hazen and anti-HaZen bill men since
Wednesday afternoon on the question of
final adjournment was broken at 1l.l5.
The Senate was then notified Of the action
Of the House.
Messrs. Sulloway of Manchester, Moore Of
Nashua. and Branch of Weare, each rose TO
a question Of privilege and denied the truth
OF certain statements made against them in
two of the official papers of the Legislature.
These denials created much excitement.
The reports of the committees were then
in order. The majority of the committee on
railroads reported favorably on bills confirm
ing and ratifying the lease of the Manchester
& Lawrence to the Boston a. Maine, for the
extension of the Dover & Wlnnipese0gee,
and authorizing the Boston & Maine TO guar
antee and assume covenants in the lease of
the Northern to the Boston d Maine, to.
gether with amendments. The minority OF
the railroad committee recommended the In.
definite pOstp0nement of these bills substan-
TALLY on the ground that the amendments
added to them since they came from the
Senate contained many OF the essential fea-
lures of the Hazen bill which was vetoed by
the Governor. The reports were tabled to be
printed.
A Joint resolution was reported authoriz.
ing and requiring the Governor and Council
to appoint commission Of three to ascertain
the interest of the State in the surplus of the
Concord and Boston 81 Maine railroads, with
power to examine books, employ experts and
send for persons and papers; the commission
to report to the next Legislature; and $1,000
to be appropriated to meet expenses.
A message was received from the Senate
announcing a reconsideration Of the vote on
the final adjournment
The amendments to the railroad bills sub
mitted by majority Of the House railroad
committee are likely 10 preciptate another
contest, as stubborn, If not as prolonged, as
that which has just ended. This makes the
date of final adjournment uncertain.

STEVENSON ON TRIAL.
Preliminary Hearing in the Carmel
Shooting Case.

of Special Constable Stevenson, charged
with manslaughter in shooting the tramp
Shorty" at Carmel, began here today.
County Attorney Appleton appeared for the
State, and Jasper Hutchins, Esq, for Stew
enson. For the prosecution. Dr. Otis testi-
fed as to the wounded mans injuries and
death. David and Rufus Simpson testified
that they saw the shooting and that Steven
son fired at the tramp without giving any
warning.
In opening the defence, Mr.. Hutchins
claimed the killing to be accidental, the in
tent being merely to disable the man, and
said that the defence would show that the
tramp was one of the gang who burned
Steyenson's buildings. Twelve witnesses
were sworn for the defence and the hearing
adjourned until tomorrow.
